I seriously question whether "This is a valuable tool for web developers who
wish to stay abreast of Web Design technology". I gave the NT version of
this thing a pretty good lookin' and it's a mutt. Terribly rendered page
elements, similar interface as many other wysiwyg environments. Don't
believe the hype. (Well, maybe it's better on some other platform?)

Perhaps, but really? The install had it copyright 1995. Not sure why...it
does have more modern features than that, including some javascript and CSS
stuff.

Good thing the code is public, this thing needs some major work.

Now what exactly are they proposing? Cut and paste stuff from other sites
into your pages?
